WASHINGTON -- Anthrax has been confirmed in samples collected from the two Pentagon mail facilities that were at first closed last week and then declared free of the pathogen, United Press International has learned.
The head of the company that was accused of contaminating the samples sent from those facilities -- a detached building on the Pentagon grounds in Arlington, Va., and the other in Falls Church, Va. -- said the presence of anthrax was detected independently by two government laboratories.
Robert B. Harris, president and chief executive officer of Commonwealth Biotechnologies Inc. in Richmond, Va., also said the anthrax found was the same genetic strain used in the 2001 attacks.

I've had all my Anthrax shots and I still find the idea of biological warfare pretty scary. But that's just me.

The Pentagon is working to gather more than 8,000 pieces of mail that moved through its detached facility between March 10 and March 14.
Government at work. Don't you feel safer?

CBI is a sub-contractor that conducts routine testing. The identity of the prime contractor who received the results is unclear. So, it's not just one private contractor, but through two before the tests get to the proper federal authorities? Talk about Terror-budget pork barrel abuse!
"Same strain"
I suppose the prudent question is, "Was it the same strain you used to test the equipment?"
The contractor is in mass CYA mode.

"This is a big story. the anthrax killer is back."
Doubt it. Reads like spin from the contractor alleged to have been sloppy.

Homeland Security seems much more interested in political correctness and shaking down granny than in boosting its ability to respond to real threats.

"Doubt it."
Really?
